Don’t turn on the light

There is something creeping around in my head behind the walls a silent scratching that grows louder with every moment There is something creeping around behind the dark around the snickering furniture shadows filled with secrets tumbling like raindrops in the empty halls There is something creeping around under the bed Behind the door she [...]

Babbling on infinity

This is another poem about flowers and sunsets this is a poem about rage and fear and hate there are five dollar words and I surreptitiously pontificate Maybe menacingly mention my mundane melancholy as I allow asinine alliteration to allay all doubt I am a fraud a phony a fake It's quite obvious, I'm figured [...]
